COMPLETE STREETS CHECKLISTCity of Philadelphia

The City of Philadelphia's Complete Streets policies are designed to ensure that city streets are safe, comfortable and convenient for people of all ages and abilities, whether they travel by car, bus, train, bike, or foot (see §11-901 of The Philadelphia Code).

The Complete Streets Checklist is an implementation tool of the Philadelphia Complete Streets Handbook (the “Handbook”) and enables City engineers and planners to review projects for compliance with the Handbook’s design guidance. The Handbook does not supersede or replace language, standards or policies established in the City Code, City Plan, PennDOT Standards, or the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

The Philadelphia City Planning Commission reviews and comments on preliminary Complete Streets Checklists as part of the Civic Design Review (CDR) process. The Philadelphia Streets Department must then approve a final Complete Streets Checklist, during final review, prior to the issuance of a building permit by the Department of Licenses and Inspections. Approval of Complete Streets checklists occurs concurrently with approval of design plans. The Complete Streets Checklists required of projects not going through CRD are reviewed solely by the Streets Department as part of Plan and/or Project Review.

PLAN REQUIREMENTS

CDR Projects Only: Planning Commission Review Submit separate Existing Features Survey and Currently Proposed Features Site Plans

o Full sized plans, dimensioned at an identified standard engineering scaleo Curb cut/driveways/lay-by laneso Tree pits, landscapingo Bicycle racks/bike share stations/bike storage areaso Transit shelters/stairways

Include additional sheets or plans, as may be required

All Projects: Final Streets Department Submission Requirements All plans submitted to the Streets Department, Right of Way Unit, will conform to the current plan review standards, as

published separately on the customer service page: http://www.philadelphiastreets.com/customer-service/downloads-and-links

Any project that changes the curb line may require a City Plan Action. An application to the Streets Department for a City Plan Action is required when a project plan proposes to create a new street/utility right of way, or remove an existing street/utility right of way, change the roadway grades, curb lines, or widths.

How does the overall design create or enhance a pedestrian environment that provides safe and comfortable access for all pedestrians at all times of the day? See guidance below. Attach separate sheets, as needed.


Guidance: Any project that calls for the development and installation of green stormwater infrastructure, medians, lay-by lanes, curb bump-outs, pedestrian bridges, tunnels, or other such features in the right-of-way may require a maintenance agreement with the Streets Department, prior to approval. Be sure to include a PWD Work Number for Green Streets projects, where permanent maintenance responsibilities for green infrastructure will be by the Philadelphia Water Department.
